This is how the main window of Successful Marina looks like. By learning to use this window you will have learned to use the 80% of the Successful Marina!

We tried to keep things as simple as possible by putting all the functionality right in front of your eyes.

On the left side you see the list of customer's contracts (or, as we call them, reservations). For every vessel that stays at the marina / boatyard you create a contract (reservation) for it. On the reservation list we see the name of the vessel, its registry number and its length (LOA) (eg KNOTTY BOUY: 1022, 6,78m)). Then, on the right side, after the data of the Vessel we have the dates of the contract (eg from 1/6/2009 to 30/5/2012): this is how many days the Vessel will stay with us. Underneath the Vessel data is the full name of the Customer (eg SBOOL FIRAS). A snap shot of the reservation is also shown at the bottom left corner of the window: here one can see what the outstanding balance (see: Current Balance) of the selected Customer is, if the Customer has any non invoiced fees (see: Non-Invoiced fees) and a forecast of what the total balance of the Customer (see: Total Balance) will be once everything he/she owns will be invoiced. Note that the contract (or reservation) can last from a few days (for transient ships), a whole year (for customers that have a yearly contract with the management) to several years (for long term lease of the berth).

The color coding that you see on the contracts list helps you easily recognize the current status of a contract. In our example, purple stands for vessels that have checked in, orange stands for vessels that their booking started, but for some reason they haven't checked in the marina yet and pink stands for vessels that made a future reservation. Usually, the marina office contacts the Customers that made a future reservation in order to deposit their advance payment and confirm their booking. Of course you can filter the contracts list and focus on a specific group of contracts, for example, the future bookings.

When you click on a specific reservation, all information about this reservation shows directly on the right side of the window. You do not have to open a different window or to search through menus... The upper right side of the window shows all the charges for this vessel (eg electricity, water, petrol...) and order requests (eg request for lift out, sanding, etc). On the bottom right side of the window we can see all the invoices and receipts issued for this vessel with date, invoice number, amount and the outstanding balance of the Customer.

If you double click on anything of the things showing on the screen (reservation, charges, invoice), a pop up window will appear with more details about it; for example if you double click on a contract, a new window will open that it will show you all the details of this contract.
